Reliance and Satisfaction
Most Impressive Feature of
Western Life—Langston an
Agricultural Settlement.
LANGSTON, Okla., September 23.—Twenty out years ago a wave of restlessness stirred the negro population of the Central and South States of the South. A spirit of dissatisfaction with surroundings and conditions and yearning for a change of environment and for a greater tree-downtime and expansion, which in all times from Antamam to Roosevelt have imputed men to wanderings, took possession in an extraordinary degree of these people of the former slave States and wrought a very perceptible depletion of the population, especially on the plantations and in the smaller towns.
I amane threatened the labor supply and agricultures resorted to drastic measures to check the movement. Notany North Carolina and Alabama passed stringent penal laws directed against immigration agents and labor contractors, whose rosy accounts of the pleasing prospects of the Southwest and whose nattering offers of good wages were working navy for their planters. The haughty and domineering set-sufficiency and economic tyranny that characterize the landlords of that part of the land were suddenly brought race to face with the fact that free labor and cheap land tax no count of teudal traditions except to render them abortive and calamitous; and, although the activities of the immigration agent and labor contractor were measurably lessened by the laws enacted against them, the restiveness of the people, yoked to a burdensome labor system and subjected to a political regime growing daily more antuterable, waxed ance.
Our foreign emigrant devotes the first years of his efforts to the accumulation of a sum sufficient to pay the passage to these shores of relatives left in the old country, and these in turn write the message of freedom and opportunity to others, so that without the efforts of great navigation companies the stream of foreign emigration will continue to swell as long as opportunity invites or our laws permit. In the same manner the spirit of dissatisfaction was kept alive in the South. The mind of early immigrants who, following the climatic parallel, settled in the West, wrote back to the cottages and cabins of the cotton States, accounts of the new and better country, and, in spite of the privations and the hardships incident to all pioneer undertakings, their accounts for the spirit of unrest and kept alive the cry of "Westward Ho."
the conquest and settlement of the West, its rapid and wonderful growth and development furnish the most romantic, thrilling and instructive chapters in our national history. No other American achievement has created so successfully the consciousness of a national life and, despite sporadic and superficial distempers, no section of the country will play so important a part in solving the many intricate, delicate and vexing problems to which the high purpose of our institutions, the multiform and complex character of our civilization and the heterogeneity of our population give rise. In the great mow of its possibilities, perfect adjustment of all difficulties and a happy accord of conflicting aims and sentiments will be realized to the greatest extent possible. Not time alone, but room as well is necessary for the working out of the great problems for which America was predestined to or which she is here; and room enough the West provides despite the tide of population which set in its direction nearly a century ago, and has yearly increased in volume.
Not unnaturally there is much misuse on the part of the Afro-American people of the extent of Afro-American settlement in the West. For centuries circumstances beyond their control combined them to the last and Southeast, and especially during the period of flood tide of Western immigration. From the western border of the recognized cotton area they saw the sunset, and straightway turned their eyes toward its rising. When later, amid the contusion of a dismembered society, helpless, landless and accustomed only to the guidance of the north star, their restraint was suddenly removed, they were in no condition and had little spirit to venture upon unleashed paths. The slave spirit and the pioneer spirit are not abilities. God and Moses had the greatest difficulty in making the Israelites accomplish an eleven day journey in forty years and that, too, when at the end of it were "great and goodly cities," "houses full of all good things," "fine yards," and "live trees" which they neither built nor planted. From the house of their bourgegee the Afro-Americans had no Moses to lead them even when God had destroyed the house. There were many Arsini, it is true, and much good service did they render, notwithstanding frequent apostasy when in sight of the golden city, and notwithstanding their blameless, heightened.
Net within less than a score of years, at numbers of them turned their westward and began the long and dry march of a thousand miles and came to a land full of promise indeed, not yielding the fruit and comfort only to the determined application of brawn and muscle seasoned with almost superhuman patience. Even earlier, before the close of the war, fragmentary bands of frozen or ingestive slaves crossed the Mississippi and found a retinue in Kansas which the spirit of John Brown of rendered as safe as Canada, while rier still individuals had scaled the containers or rounded the Horn to dig

The great exodus, however, of Afro-Americans to the West took place in the decade between 1880 and 1890. In the short space of a few years more than a quarter million Afro-Americans took up the Western trail and scattered settlements from Texas to California on the south, and from Ohio to Washington on the north. Thousands of the most respectable, the most well-to-do and most progressive families disposed of their innovable property, the fruit of years of careful husbandry, and with hearts and spirits to endure dangers, hardships and toll, joined the great caravan of Western home-seekers. They were fit material for such an epoch-making undertaking. Few of them have ever returned, and the great mass of them by dint of industry and by grace of the fertility of the land, have made good and are enjoying comforts, privileges, a security and prosperity not possible in the South for several generations to come. In 1900 the Negro population north of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi is 2,334,480. The bulk of this population is found in the States of the Central West with Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Texas leading. That there is room for ten to fifteen million more is plain to any one who has had but a glimpse of this vast plain and plateau region whose fringes only have been settled.
The settlement of Afro-Americans in the West has been attended by several significant and noteworthy achievements and experiments. The acquisition of land in quantity impossible in the South and East, the accumulation of wealth and the enjoyment of advantages which produce a healthy, mainly and self-reliant independence, are developing a type of Afro-American citizenship quite different from that found elsewhere. Especially has there been awakened the consciousness of the power that ensues from close communal life and cooperation. The independent and corporate Negro community or municipality is an evolution peculiar to the West, which is fraught with far-reaching consequences. The self-reliance which the West develops in every individual who strives for success is being fostered in the race, and it is taking on a new strength born of the feeling of mutual confidence, interdependence and the pride and real of a common aspiration.
Oklahoma and Indian Territory fur-
nish instructive instances of this success
of towns built and governed by Negroes.
The experiment has been tried with
some success in the former slave States
Mound Bayon, Mississippi, being a
splendid example; but the land system
of the South and the moribund state of
its political and civic life are not con-
duitive to the expansion of the experiment.
Oklahoma, however, and other
parts of the West, afford almost un-
mitted opportunity for it, and in Oklahoma the thing has become an accomplished fact and a settled policy. Indeed, only the lack of a quick appri-
cation of advantage or of the means
and ability to make use of advantage, as well as the fatally characteristic want of con-
tinue in those who seemingly possess in a rare degree the gift of fatigued
work, prevented Oklahoma from becoming practically a Negro commonwealth. When the Oklahoma country was
opened for settlement (it is customary to say "for white settlement") the exclusus from the South was in full swing, and a serious effort was made to immi-
mate it with Viro-American home-seekers. Several thousands of them came and took up good claims in the fastest portion of the country. But the land was too fertile and inviting for the slow, bullying and intermittent process of Afré-American compass, especially when the purpose was divided by the politicians and land sharks of Texas and Arkansas.
The plan of erecting a Negro com-muneworthy out of Oklahoma was conceived by F. P. McCabe, and it was principally to his conventions that a mea-cum of success was realized. The career of Mr. McCabe has been specially notable as well as successful. It fur-merishes a rare instance of an Nite Ameri-can following a political course with out encountering an untimely Waterloo he had the good fortune to cast his heart in the West as a time favorable to the political uphement of a capable col-rod man, and he has had the good sense to stay put, thereby avoiding the partiality of Oklahoma into which the will of the wisp of propensity national promo-mentals. As deputy and author of the Territory of Oklahoma he is today as loo-nent of spirit and sin in tem-ment as he was twenty five years ago when, at the second time he was cleft and author of the State of Kansas by the flattering maturity of nearly sixty thousand votes. He has the distinction of being the only Negro in the United States who ever succeeded himself by popular vote to a State office, and his prestige in Oklahoma furnished a large part of the capital of the Democratic party in the recent campaign in this State.
Reaching that his scheme to a Negro State could not at that time be carried out, Mr McCabe determined to contact a Negro agricultural settlement large enough to support an incorporated Negro town. Accordingly in 1900 he purchased 200 acres of the best farming land in Oklahoma ostensibly for a sheep ranch. Here his aim has been fully and marvelously realized. That it should remain a Negro town through all views studies, he named the town in Langston and advertised its advantages throughout the East and South. On the original 220 acres a town of fair size for the West about 400 population has grown its people are industrious, thrifty and contented. Every one owns its own home and from one to several tracts of land. The stories of which there are several, the printing office, the cotton gin and many other business enterprises are owned and conducted by Negroes. The government of the town is visited in a town council of three members, the president of it being the mayor, who are elected annually by the trefoilers. They pass ordinances for the regulation of the town and levies taxes. A town clerk, a municipal street commissioner, assessor and metary public constitute the other chief others. There is not a more orderly of better governed town of its size in the United

States. The pride of the people in their municipality is perhaps unprecedented, and seems daily to increase, the women being fully as patriotic and as loyal to their customs and institutions as the men. The town has exceptional educational advantages. The State University for Negro youth is located here, which is attended by about four hundred young men and women from the two Territories and the adjoining States. It has a good public school and a Catholic parochial school where there is one white child in attendance.
THE COMMUTER AND HIS GARDEN.
SAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK O'THAT FOR A STRING BLAN?
South and east of the town for a distance of twenty or more miles are farms owned by Afro-Americans. The average size of these farms is a hundred and sixty acres. Several men, however, own two or three farms of this size. The land produces everything. It is a common saying that if you can't make a living in Oklahoma, you had better quit trying. Cotton is one of the chief staples in the vicinity of Langston, and many of the farmers raise from twenty to thirty bales-a year besides a large acreage of corn and other cereals. One of the largest cotton buyers of this section is a Negro. Last year he handled $70,000 worth of cotton, and it is likely that his operations this year will exceed that figure. He is one of the principal owners of the large cotton gin established here, and the owner of exceedingly valuable farm lands.
The largest general merchandise store here is a cooperative enterprise managed by two up-to-date young business men, one of whom is the postmaster and mayor of the town. They have a well-stocked store, and do a large business with the town folks and the farmers within a radius of twenty miles. There is much daily travel, but it is heaviest on Saturdays, which is the principal trading day, and on Sunday which is strictly given over to attending church, and the impression which the going and coming of these two days make upon the mind of the observer can never be forgotten. Every man has his team, his buggy or carriage, which are kept in the very best condition. The condition of the stock alone is one of the best signs of the progress these people have made.
But the most impressive feature of the life of these people is the supreme satisfaction they take in their environment. They seem, indeed, to live in a perfect Arecadia which is rendered all the more blissful by the thought of the woes from which they have escaped. Their one thought and care appear to be the prosperity and peace of the community, and while they have a full share of human foibles, complaint and grumbling are not in the category. They work and save and possess their souls in peace.

WILLIAM MILLER DUTTON DEAR.
An Old New Yorker Who Ranked High in Scottish Rite Masonry.
William Miller Dutton died at his residence, No 1647 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, on the 10th inst., after a long and painful illness. Funeral services were held at the above number Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, and the remains deposited in Cypress Hills Cemetery Sunday morning.
William Miller Dutton was one of the last of the old time New Yorkers born in this city eighty five years ago. He was the son of a Presbyterian clergyman, Rev Solomon Dutton, who was in charge of a congregation in Newark, N. J., although he maintained a residence here in New York, where he brought up his two sons, William and Solomon, all of the family being well known and looked up to for their evident intelligence. William, who has just passed away, was educated in the common schools and then sent along with the late Dr Peter W Ray to Ecoleon College, Maine, from which institution both graduated about 1550. Ray graduated as a Doctor of Medicine, and Dutton as a Bachelor of Science, and down to their deaths, which have taken place but ten months apart, were more or less associated. Dr Ray became the most pursuant grand commander of the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons, founded here in 1654, by the late Baron A. Hugo de Bulew, of the Supreme Council of France, and Dutton became second in command, serving in his exiled position down to the death of Ray, when he was in turn elevated to the highest position in Masonry. He served only a short time and then resigned because his taking health would not permit of his active duty in the office. He was one of the only few colored men upon whom were ever confronted the highest degrees in Masonry by any legitimate authority, leaving but one by virtue of the original number.
SHERIFF SAVES MURDERER
Takes Him from Jail to Thwart Gathering Leaders
Cornwall, O., Sept. 22. Henry Dalton, a Negro, who last night shot and killed Chris Horn, a Big Four Railroad engineer, at Delaware. Ohio, was brought to Columbus to night by Sherif Matthews, to save the prisoner from violence at the hands of some of Delaware's enraged citizens. James Knowlton and Dalton, workmen in a quarry at Sunbury, were riding in a buggy that crashed into a carriage driven by Horn. The engineer uphraised the mon for their carelessness. Knowlton started to tight with Horn and was getting the worst of the light, when Dalton drew a receiver and shot Horn. Dalton was captured and locked up in the county jail. Horn shot this morning, and as the news spread groups of exepted men began to gather in the streets. There was tats of lynching, and the situation became so threatening that Sherif Matthews shipped out the back door of the jail with Dalton, drove to a station on an interurban line, and brought him to Columbus.

Lincoln, Md. Sept. 15. It has been determined by the Young Men's Enterprise Association of this place to open a school here for the purpose of educating their own children, and for that purpose have employed a teacher to be good by them. The school will be held in a building owned by the association.
Lincoln county does not give us African American children more than five months' schooling in the year, and the opening of this school is for the purpose of implementing this condition of affair.
Mr. L. T. Cooper is the president of the association, which is doing a good business, having a general store. They will probably be assisted by members of the Manager Methodist Episcopal church here and at other contiguous points.
Brunswick Murdered:
Porsson, 16, N.Y., Sept. 23. Mrs. Frank Korshak, the wife of Louis Rorthek, U.S.N., was murdered by some unknown person in her home in Park View, the exclusive white residence of the city several days ago. The local police seem to be completely battered by the mystery, but bodies which they keep to them others. Two attempts have been made to hold an impost, but each time it has been postponed. The entire community has been arrested by the districtly crime, and it is the correct wish of all Viro Americans in particular, that the murderer be apprehended. Thomas Vrocher, a respectable young Viro American, is held by the authorities as the guilty party, but as yet no evidence has been brought to show that he was remotely concerned in the deplorable affair.

Honors Milliard, a Negro, of Elstreet street, Brooklyn, was held yesterday by Magistrate Harris, in the West Side Court, in $4,000 bail for trial on a charge of robbery assaulting Thomas Hayden, of 1st West 2nd Street. Milliard declared that he and a companion were assaulted by a gang of young men at 11th javno and West 5th street early yesterday. To protect himself, he fired two shots into the crowd. One of the bullets struck Hayden in the left side.
TO TURN
DOWN TAFT
Awful Tale of the News
Bureau
CHASE CHIEF PLOTTER
According to the Plausible Story
Told by the Ever Alert Washington Correspondent Who Has
Space to Fill Galore
From The Brooklyn Daily Eagle.
Washington, Sept. 20. The Taft Presidential supporters in the Administration have discovered a surprising state of affairs among the Republicans at the District of Columbia. In the very shadow of the White House a plot is being latched to humiliate both the President and the latter's choice for the President, Secretary Taft.
The consortium is fathered by the Negroes of Washington and is inspired by Government in growing out of the dismay from the army of four companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry for alleged participation in the Brooksville riots. The plan in brief is to secure the election early next year of two delegates to the Republican National Convention from the District of Columbia who are known to be both Reservist, anti Tatt and anti everything else. For as the President's wishes with reference to the nomination are concerned.
With this as a beginning, the agitation will be extended to the country at large, with the hope of inducing the Republican organizations of those States in which the Negro is a big facet to follow the sort of the District Republicans and send one but two Reservist men to the convention. In addition, it is hoped that the spectacle of this action in the part of members of the party at the capital will not fail to make impression upon the white Republicans through the United States.
The foregoing facts have been communicated to A. L. Vortys, manager of the Taft presidential boom. By one of the Secretary's friends in Washington, together with the injunction to take the steps necessary to checkmate the platers.
The delegates from the district will be chosen in February, ahead of most of the States. The selection is made by the
primary method. Usually something like 12,000 votes are cast, and perhaps one-third of these are white. The rule has been to choose one white and one Negro delegate. The white delegate for several conventions has been Dr. Robert Reyburn, one of the most prominent physicians of the city, while the Negro delegate has been W. Calvin Chase, a lawyer. The first suggestion made by those here in opposition to the President on account of the Brownsville affair was that two Negro delegates be chosen for the 1908 convention. It was argued that this would emphasize to the country the feeling of the colored voters in the matter.
With the proportion of votes in the primaries heavily in favor of the blacks, there would apparently be very little difficulty in bringing this about, but upon careful consideration it was determined that this would not be wise. As matters stand, then one white and one Negro delegate will be selected, but the white man will be entirely in sympathy with the movement against the President. This means that Dr. Reyburn will be left at home, for it is understood that he is a supporter of the administration as to the next nomination. Chase will be the Negro delegate. He admitted today that the scheme as outlined above was an accurate presentation of the situation.
"This is a movement against President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft in the Republican National Convention," he said, "and we are going to press our case home with all the means at our hand. Our grievance primarily is against the President and not Secretary Taft, for it was Mr. Roosevelt who gave the order dismissing the colored soldiers. Mr. Taft countermanded the order, which was very good as long as it lasted, but he was too weak to stand up against the President, and finally revoked the countermand. We are, therefore, opposed to both Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Taft and are for Senator Foraker, who championed the cause of the dismissed troops, or any candidate whom he favors."
As soon as the primary election in the district shall have been held, appeals will be made to the Republican organizations in the Southern States to line up against the administration and see to it that no one who will vote for Mr. Taft is elected as a delegate. Little doubt is felt that this course of action will receive the moral support, and possibly even more material aid, from sources favoring the interests of other candidates, so that an exceedingly interesting situation is likely to develop out of what is already regarded here as the "Washington movement."
Naturally, the administration is expected to take note of all these happenings and do what it can to check the movement at the outset. Through the influence of postoffice appointments and other Federal patronage, Mr. Taft's friends are, of course, in a position to exercise a potent force upon the various political machines in the South. President Roosevelt, too, has in his service as surveyor of the port of New York, the one man in the United States perhaps best fitted for handling this matter. He is James H. Clarkson, who was intimately associated with and gave almost invaluable aid to the managers of the Harrison and McKinley campaigns in dealing with the delegates from the Southern States to the National convention.
But it is the understanding that Mr. Clarkson has allied himself with the political fortunes of George R. Cortellon, Secretary of the Treasury, who is known to cherish presidential aspirations, no matter how hard he may be attempting to conceal the fact from the public. Mr Clarkson was in Washington about two months ago and no denial was made of the stories printed at that time, that he had undertaken the role of political adviser, along certain lines to the secretary. Without desiring to patient upon Mr Clarkson, it may be fairly inferred that the President might institute to place the case of his candidate in the hands of a person who appeared to be favorable to the candidacy of another.
I that the administration is much concerned over the outlook with reference to the Negro vote admits of little question. The advocates of Mr. Taft's nomination have noted with apprehension the outspreading of feeling over the Browns' the affair in almost all the conventions, religions and secular, of colored organizations held in the past spring and summer. Every influence has been brought to bear in head off action by these bodies in the form of resolutions condemnatory of the President and Mr. Taft, and while they have been in the main successful, it has not always been possible to hold back the volume of wrath of some of the speakers. The truth is that the Negro political leaders have been surprised to find that the rank and file of their race are not amenable to their arguments, when it comes to dealing with the dismissal of the Negro soldiers. Here they always appeared to be willing to listen to reason, but on the subject now foremost in their conversations they seem to be unavailble in their conversations.
LYNCHING AT MOBILE.
Body Riddled with Bullets and Wurden
Sign Hung on It.
Mountain, Ma, Sept 20. The body of Messrs. Dessert, a Negro, swung to a tree for several hours today in the suburbs of Mobile, bearing a card with this legend: "Negroes must be taught that death will always follow attacks on white women."
The man was lynched about 7 o'clock ten an attack on Mrs. John Becker about 7 o'clock last night. Mrs. Becker was alone when he gained access to the house.
Sheriff Smith and a number of officers captured him about 7 o'clock this morning, and started with him to the Mobile jail. They were ambushed by twenty masked men, who covered the officers with rihks and demanded the Negro. The officers yielded the prisoner, who was hurried to the Becker home, where he was identified. The masked men then took him, about 200 yards up the street, hanged him to a tree, and trilled his body with bullets.

CATHOLICS OF RICHMOND
Persistent Work Accomplished in Behalf of Race
A REFUGE AND A HOME
Rev. Father Hannigan and Franciscan Sisters Doing a Great Work Among Race People—School System Below Standard.
RICHMOND, September 23.—The Catholics are doing a great work among the Afro-American people of the city. There is no flare of trumpets, but it is a gradual and persistent work, which is bringing recruits to the Church in large numbers.
As large as is the Afro-American population of the city (approximately 42,000), there is not a kindergarten in connection with the public schools for their children. The Catholics have taken advantage of this derelection on the part of the city and have established a kindergarten for Afro-American tots, which for the past two years has been successfully conducted.
The St. John the Baptist filustrial school, another one of their educational ventures, is a well-attended school for boys and girls, which provides for a good English education, including church history, in addition to an industrial training. A day nursery for cast-off children and orphans has been founded. It is known as the Asylum of the Holy Immuneces. The nursery has large, air rooms, open-air playrooms. The kitchens, baths and sleeping rooms are constructed with an eye to good sanitation.
A maternity hospital has been established for wayward girls. This hospital is in the charge of a matron and two assistants, all of whom are Afro-american widows of middle age, and admirably suited for the work. The founding of this institution is two-fold—a refuge for unfortunate girls and a home where they may be reclaimed to society and made to become good. To that end, the girls are allowed to remain at the home if they manifest a desire to reform. Positions are secured for them as servants in good families and they are allowed to remain at the hospital, paying a nominal sum for use of bed room. The hospital has a large reception room where the girls are allowed to receive proper friends at stated hours.
St Joseph's church, their house of worship, is being remodeled preparatory to placing a $2,500 pipe organ in. The church, asylum, hospital, school houses and Episcopal residence occupy a beautiful block in the Afro-American section and is well improved. The Franciscan Sisters in charge of the school work do not confine their work to the schoolhouse alone, for they give lessons in music and needlework. They go through the Afro-American sections ministering to the sick and the poor and are truly doing a great work among our people. The Rev. Father Hamigan is priest in charge of the work. The public schools of the city will open for the 1907-08 session a week from to day. As there have been two or three marriages since the election of teachers in June, there will be several new appointments made this week.
An outsider would think that the curriculum of studies in the high and normal school for Afro-American pupils provided for a business course. This especially so, in view of the large number of business enterprises conducted by our people. But not so neither bookkeeping, stenography, typewriting nor commercial arithmetic is taught. There are no languages taught and what was once a high and normal school is now nothing more than a grammar school. We have a business college and that with Virginia Union University and Hartshorn Memorial College supplies the deficiency of the city school authorities. I am of the opinion if a committee representing the Richmond Negro Business League were to appear before our city school board and place the matter squarely before the members, the importance of adding these subjects to the course of study would be seen and the request granted.

The "Shoofly Regiment" Placed Under Management—Notion of Other Shown.
Within the past ten days rumors have been current that the Cole and Johnson show was to soon close indefinitely. Such gossip was occasioned, however, on account of the week's vaudeville engagement Cole and Johnson had for September 16, at Cook's Opera House, Rochester. Yet out of all the talk there has developed a piece of news which is absolutely true. Cole and Johnson's "Shoofly Regiment" will be managed by Stair and Havlin and not the two song-writers from now on.
The deal whereby Stair and Havlin have assumed control of the "Snooily Regiment" was consummated the latter part of last week while the company was playing at the Folly Theatre, Brooklyn. Just what the considerations were involving the chance has not been made public. Being under the strong wing of the heads of the popular price theatres Cole and Johnson should receive booking for the season that would play them in the best popular-price theatres in which Williams and Walker and Ernest Hogan are booked. Last season it was due to their poor booking that the show did not end the season with a nice sum of money to the good. Imagine week after week playing one-night stands in the South with a big company of sixty-old people and several carloads of scenery, and the answer to why they did not flourish is easily given.
The piece having been acquired by the heads of the popular-price theatres, it it expected that these two persevering young men will get such houses as the Houk Theatre, Cincinnati, Grand Opera House in St. Louis, and the Grand Opera House in Kansas City, where they will not be compelled to play two shows daily. The show is a good popular-price attraction, and if Stair and Havlin think well enough of them to place them under their management, they should give them good booking.
All the big colored shows with the exception of Ernest Hogan are on the road. Williams and Walker have been out a number of weeks, by the writer has not been able to see "In Randana land," owing to the company playing out of New York: Flattering reports are being given of the new piece, which is described as a musical show with all the numbers bad. At present they are doing a bunch of one-nighters which should put everything in great shape for the large cities.
"The Smart Set," with S. H. Dudley, opened the season last week and with a much stronger cast to support Mr. Dudley than last season, "The Black Politician" should make good. Last year the cast was very weak in spots which handicapped the comedian in many ways. Ernest Hogan is rehearsing night and day with his new show, "The Oyster Man." This is the last week of rehearsal, as The Oyster Man" opens at Lima, O. September 25. After playing the rest of the week on one night stands the piece opens in Chicago at the Great Northern Theatre September 29.
From what I have seen of the Hogan and the William & Walker shows I believe that the former will prove the comedy hit of the season, while the latter will secure honors from the musical end. Determined to make his new piece as funny as possible "the unbleached American" has added to his cast John Rucker, the former comedian for Black Patti. Rucker is playing second comedy to Hogan and they create some very funny situations. With Carita Day as leading lady again this season, Bob Kelley playing the role of an old preacher, Murriel Ringgold back in the fold, Ella Anderson, Craig Williams and the two Dees in the cast, I look for some sure enough comedy.
Mr. and Mrs. Bob Kelley entertained a number of their friends at a luncheon in honor of Mrs. Kelley at their resilience several days ago. Among those present were Ernest Hogan, Carita Day, Tom Logan and Gus Hall.

Mr. Doughless was instructed to get an opinion from Judge Ten Eyck, of the Court of Common Pleas. Lawyer Doughless holds to the opinion that punishment will be adjudicated fairly. The police judges have been trying on Sunday persons arrested on Saturday nights. Recently five Afro-American women were sentenced Sunday, and Counselor Doughless has been retained by them to contest the legality of the punishment on Sunday held at Kemper Park was well attended and a great success.

RESULTS OF PRIMARIES
No Changes In This County—Woodruff Lease Districts
After one of the bloodiest primary days, known in New York politics, the list of district leaders in Manhattan, both Democratic and Republican, remains unchanged.
In Richmond, Nicholas Muller, for twenty years a Tammy leader, went down to defeat.
Some 258 arrests were made in Manhattan and The Bronx in the course of the day, 114 of which were in connection with the primary elections. In all other boroughs the total arrests were 18, only one of which was directly attributable to the election.
In the Fourteenth District of New York county, where William Larry carried on a bitter and thorough fight against the old leader, W. J. Boyhan, the result was so close that a contest is inevitable, and there is a strong chance of such a contest reversing the apparent result. The vote stood 1,252 for Boyhan to 1,345 for Larry, a difference of only 24 votes.
State committees are elected from Senate districts. The Fourteenth is one of the three Assembly districts in the Senate district from which Murphy was elected to the State Committee. Another one of the three is the Sixteenth, where State Chairman Woodruff was detained in the only two districts in Kings in which he made a fight. In the Fifth Assembly District, Robert A. Sharkey, who has been interned for years because he has held offices under Federal and State patronage, won despite the opposition of Mr. Woodruff's friends. The complete returns were not in by midnight, but it was conceded that he had won over Jesse Fuller, Jr., his adversary, by more than 700 votes.
The biggest victory, however, came in Mr. Woodruff's former home district, the Eleventh. In this district Pestmaster George H. Roberts has held sway without dispute until this year. He was a Woodruff man, and a fight was made against him. His adversaries, headed by Eugene H. Travis, raised the house of Governor Hughes and carried on an aggressive fight throughout the district. Their fight was not regarded seriously, and it was not supposed that they could win. To the surprise of the Roberts supporters, when the returns came in, Travis had won, his vote being 1,362 to Roberts's 997.

NEWS OF NORPOLK
NORFOLK, Va., September 24.—An appreciative audience greeted Bishop H. M. Turner at St. John's A. M. E. church last Monday night, to hear him lecture. Dr. Mossell, the pastor, in his masterly way introduced the venerable Bishop.

There is no other place like it in the world. It is an exhibition room of art and fashion devoted specifically to the requirements of colored women. Its managers are white women who have studied the art of personal adornment in Paris. They know how colored women should dress and what toilet articles they should use to add to their attractiveness. Our complexion discovery is like a miracle. Every application gives the natural colored akin a lighter shading and a softer touch. It will cost you nothing to come to this headquarters of fashion for information and suggestion. The opening will be September 21st, day and evenings, and colored women will be welcomed as visitors.

If You Are Going to See a Chairvoyant
Why Not See the Best?
If you have already made a mistake, throw away your money and lost confidence through dealing with much advertised and self-styled palmists and chairroyers and their obpac, chap-trap methods, start from the beginning and consult three wonderful mediums. They will tell you frank your condition and what you will not take if you want them done for you they will not take one cent of your money. Has not this honesty on the face of it?
We can tell you all this and more:
How can I have good luck?
How can I succeed in business or work?
How can I make my home happy?
How can I conquer my enemies?
How can I marry the one I choose?
How can I marry well?
How can my rival?
How can I make anyone love me?
How can I get a good position?
How can I remove bad influence
How can I control anyone?
How make distant ones think of me?
How can I settle my quarrel?
How can I hold my husband's love?
How can I keep my wife's love?
We can tell if and never ask questions.
No, you should not read when reading it once. You be the index.
We do hereby solemnly agree and guarantee to make no charge if we fail to call your name, names of your friends, enemies or rivals. We promise to tell you whether your husband, wife or sweetheart is true or false; tell you how to get the love of your money; most deline, even though miles away; how to succeed in business, speculations, lawsuits; how to marry the one of your choice; how to retain youth, health and vitality; remove all evil influences.

Some Comctustons Drawn from the

From The New York Sun.
‘The question has fot yet been an.
swered how far the present troubles in
Morocea are connected with a wider
African movement. It is generally ad-
| mitted that France is not eager to pene-
trate the country: with arms. As an
sinexpanding nation with an’ ‘export
trade’ that addresace self ‘moaty to
“appreciative of art and luxury,
she might well hold the conquest of
that barbarian territory to be not worth
her blood and powder. :
But France's reluctance has also more
positive reasons. . The, French Intelli-
gence Department with its close know!-
edge of African affairs must be fully
ive to the ‘possibilty’ that, something
tore than Morocco, 2 dificult enough
antagonist to subdue by itvelf, has to be
reckoned with in the -deal. “There are

“The editor of Tne Ack has made a

NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION
Twenty-seventh Annual Session Largest and Most Successful Gathering. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 17.—The National Baptist Convention closed its twenty-seventh annual session here yesterday afternoon, having been in almost continuous service for six days. It was one of the largest and most successful meetings of the organization yet held, the attendance having been exceeded only upon two other occasions—at Philadelphia and Chicago. Not less than 7,000 delegates and visitors were attracted to the nation's capital by this wonderful body, representing a constituency of two and a half million Baptists, and hailing from nearly every State in the Union, with a sprinkling from Africa and the islands of the sea. The sessions of the National Baptist Convention were held in the Metropolitan Baptist church, of which Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor, and which seats about 2,500 persons.
Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helana, Ark. one of the ablest, clearest-headed and best informed men in the denomination, presided. On Friday; under a suspension of the rules, Dr. Morris was reelected president for the fourteenth time. Prof. R. B. Hudson, principal of the high school at Selma. Ala., was elected secretary.
The addresses of welcome were delivered by Commissioner H. F. B. Macfarland, on behalf of the District of Columbia; Rev. M. W. D. Norman, for the Metropolitan Baptist church; Rev. G. W. Lee, for the Ministers' Union of the District of Columbia; Rev. S. L. Corrothers, for the Methodists, and Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, on behalf of the Young. People's Union of the church. Rev. W. H. Moses, of Staunton, Va., responded on behalf of the convention.
The address of President Morris on Wednesday was a clean-cut expression of the denomination on the problems, ecclesiastical and state, which confronted it and demanded solution.
President J. H. Frank, of Louisville, Ky., of the Foreign Mission Board, introduced Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary, who gave a highly interesting account of the work of the demination in the foreign field, particularly in West, Central and South Africa, West Indies, Haiti, South America and Russia. Receipts for the year amounted to $18,727.66; expenditures, $17,542.65, leaving a balance on hand of $1,185.01. Dr. Jordan said a school had been erected at Cape Town and a church would soon follow, and other efforts on the same line would be made this year in Quentown, South Africa. Several missionaries were present from the fields they represented and addressed the convention. The missionary work was given a magnificent hearing at Convention Hall on Sunday afternoon, with an audience of 5,000. Fine music was furnished by Rev. N. H. Pins of Indianaolis, Ind., and Prof. H. B. Britt, Kentucky's sweet singer.
President Morris appointed the following officers of the convention, all of whom performed their tasks with fidelity and zeal: Assistant secretaries, Revs. T. O. Fuller, Memphis, Tenn.; J. H. A. Cyrus, Port Royal, Va.; C. T. Stamps, Kosciusko, Miss.; E. H. McDonald, Providence, R. I.; postoffice messenger, J. Thomas Turner, Memphis, Tenn. The committees were appointed as follows: Enrollment, Revs. W. F. Graham, Virginia; L. L. Campbell, Texas; R. M. Caver, Arkansas; J. T. Brown, Texas; Finance, Rev. C. B. Brown, Arkansas; G. B. Howard, Virginia; J. H. Miller, Alabama; F. L. Lights, Texas; J. H. Mays, Georgia; E. T. Gardner, Arkansas.
Great enthusiasm greeted the reading of the report of Dr R H Boyd, secretary of the Publication Board and manager of the publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. which gives employment to 400 of the educated men and women of the church. The publications reach 500,000 or more Baptists. White people had been employed at first, but Negroes were gradually instructed in the fine points of the mechanical trades and now there isn't a single white face about the place. The receipts for the year were given at $60,152.14; expenditures. $44,576.96. The receipts for the Home Mission Board were $42,576.96. Statistician S. N. Nass reported an increase of 134.114 in the membership of the church during the year, making a total of 2,235.545. In the church educational works he reported 643 instructors and 12261 students.
A notable feature of Friday's session was the stirring address of Hon W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the Treasury, who had been taking an active interest all week in the visitors to the National convention, entertaining many of his acquaintances from Kansas at his home and receiving hundreds who called at his office to pay their respects.
Dr Vernon said it gave him great pleasure to lay aside the duties of his office to visit this most representative body of men who are giving their lives to the cause of education and the Chrismatization of our race throughout the world. Said he:
"I have been impressed with the solidity of your leaders, the conservatism of your presiding officer, and the personnel of the active forces of this great body—the serious-minded men of this gathering who feel the weight of the problems before us—who see the duties which he nearest us and are working with heart and soul toward the amelioration of the untoward conditions now the portion of our race.
"I am convinced that by the adoption of right methods we are to find a better day for the American Negro. All the elements of our national life are moving toward an improved condition. It is inconceivable that in this era of progress, right should not triumph, and justice should not be finally done to all the people. The American Republic, the home of free government throughout the world, has a mission so lofty that its "carrying out necessarily involves that bitterness which exalteth a nation," when men understand that their duties study the granting of rights to their low men and the Golden Rule in affairs of state, church and home is the only rule which can be subjected to the test of divine scrutiny, then shall we see an era of greatness, in harmony with the divine purpose. Governments are strongest which live in the hearts of their subjects. Patriotism is the outgrowth of an intelligent appreciation of the goodness and justice of human government.
"To educate the Negro to a full appreciation of his rights and duties, to
insist upon a performance of his duties and to insure him his rights will lead to the nearest possible perfection in national effort, and rapidly bring us forward to a realization of the hopes of the most sanguine dreamer who ever wrought for the liberation of human kind.
"I am in sympathy with you, and have a feeling stronger than denominational lines. We may not all see alike on non-essentials, but on those essential things which make for a better dayy for the Negro, all leaders must agree. Worth shipping the same God, paying homage to the same Christ alike and preaching His gospel, working for and with a struggling race, we can but be united and must work together.
"As one holding an official position, I desire you to tell me with you at all times, and consider me as everybody's Register and with all men who desire to uplift the race, regardless of denomination or creed. Let us be hopeful and the years which will untold will see the accomplishment of our aims and the fruition of the fondest hopes of ten million struggling people."
A resolution was presented and unanimously adopted to the effect that as the United States Government is making a census of religious bodies and has shown a particular interest in the gathering of the census of Negro Baptists, thereby recognizing their worth as a mighty moral and religious force, and whereas the Bureau has appointed Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, D. D., LL. D., to secure the census from the churches and Sunday schools of the Baptist faith, it is resolved that the convention commend the wisdom of the Director of the Census in appointing Dr. Johnson, who is regarded as one of the best qualified men in the denomination, both by education and a thorough knowledge of the pointy of Baptists, and that he be given the nearly cooperation of the entire church in the important work he is doing. To give force to the resolution, a committee was ordered to wait upon the Director of the Census and present the sentiments of the National Convention in person.
In the interim just prior to the speaking hour, Dr. Washington was most enjoyably entertained at dinner at the home of Prot. Roscoe Cooking Bruce, superintendent of Washington's public schools. Among those present sharing with Dr. Washington the hospitality of Prot. and Mrs. Bruce were Judge K. H. Terrell, Mc. (L. K. Turner, of the Washington Board of Education; Mr. C. Tyson, Mr. Kalph W. Tyser, Auditor of Navy Department; Mr. Julius K. Cox, traveling secretary to Dr. Washington, Mr. Ernest Davidson Washington, younger son of the Doctor; Mr. W. Sidney Pitman, the architect; Mr. Whitwood McKunlay and Mr. R. W. Thompson. Dr. Washington, accompanied by his son and secretary, left for Tuskegee immediately after the night meeting.
After a strenuous day Sunday, during which the ministers bled the various city pulpits, addressed schools and clubs, Y. M. C. A. and the use, the closing scenes came on Monday. The principal feature of the day was the adoption of the address on "The State of the Country." A struggle, thirteen in its intensity, was made by the hot-headed ones to denounce President Roosevelt for his action in the Brownsville matter, and many fiery speeches were made to influence that end; but cooler counsel prevented, and the address was finally adopted, with all political acrimony eliminated, stronger because of its Christian moderation, in the face of what even conservatives admitted was an exasperating circumstance. So bitterly was President Morris opposed to allowing a Baptist National Convention to be turned into a campaign primary that it is rumored that he threatened to resign if the objectifiable clause was permitted to remain in the document, and he carried his point, to the glory of the convention and the salvation of its reputation for sinny and ability to adhere to its traditional moorings.
Monday afternoon the great body adjourned one of its most successful seasons, to meet next September in New York. A party of 1000 delegates left that evening for Jamestown to view the beauties of the famous expotion beside the castic waters of Hampton Roads. R.W.Jameson
GRAND LODGE AT HARTFORD.
Annual Session of Masons' Held at Hartford—Election of Officers
Hartford, September 17th. The annual session of the Grand Lodge of Confection met in New London, the guest of Jephtha Lodge No. 11, on the 19th and 14th instant. Grand Master Iro, Walter B. Gladding presiding. The session was large and well attended. The usual formula of business was transacted and the election which marks the close resulted as follows: Brother Walter B. Gladding, G. M.; Brother James B. McKnight, D. M.; Brother Frederick D. Meyers, G. S.; Brother Frederick C. Cross, G. secretary; Brother John W. Ross, G. presurer.
The distinguished visitor present was Brother Tenn, deputy grand master of Prime Hall Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, who delivered a lecture on the history of the order in America. He also invited the grand lodge to visit Prime Hall Grand Lodge who would celebrate the 100th anniversary of colored masonry in America next fall in Boston. The invitation was unanimously accepted and a celebration was planned upon the subordinate lodges. On the day evening a grand reception was tendered the members of the grand lodge. A feature of the evening was an exhibition drill by St. Paul's commandery of New Haven which was finely executed.
Sunday was an ideal day as far as the weather was concerned. St. Monica's Episcopal Mission was crowded a large congregation assembling to hear Rev Prof. Wm. W. Tunnel, of Washington, who was the speaker. His theme was "Work, a purpose, a fact in Christian life." Mrs Susan L. Hoblen, of Windsor was the solist, who rendered her work very skillfully. In the evening through the kind invitation of Rev. Dr. McCollum he spoke to his people in Zion A. M. E. church taking his text from Revolution "Held I stand at the door and knock." His argument was that God is always seeking man who rebels against His love. The week the conference of church workers meets in Ashbury-Park, N. J., under the auspices of St. Augustine's church, Rev. Jensen, rector, an account of which will appear in the next letter.
Hishop Ferguson Arrives.
Bishop S. D. Ferguson of the Protestant Episcopal church of Liberia, was a cabin passenger, on the Lucania, which arrived last Saturday. He was reported as saying that the people of the Black Republic were presumptuous and the country fertile and that he would advise American Negroes to go there.

1,100,000 Hats Handled Without a Mistake—Sized Up According to Class—Merchant Made to Move—A Record Deposit.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23.—One of the most remarkable financial transactions recorded in years in this or probably any other city took place on Thursday last. Margaret Sangster, an elderly Afro-American woman, poorly dressed, entered one of the large banks in the financial district and insisted union seeing the president himself. No one else would do, and the attendant was eventually obliged to conduct her to that official's private office. Arrived there, Mrs. Sangster, with much simplicity of manner, asked whether the financial disturbance was past, and was smilingly assured that it was. Thereupon, to the amazement of the president, she drew from the folds of her dress a bankbook and forty bills, each of the denomination of $1,000, and asked that they be placed to the credit of her master's account. The book was in the name of one of the oldest and wealthiest customers of the bank, a retired and superannuated merchant, who nowadays rarely leaves his house, but who had every confidence in his old domestic.
Three hundred hats each day, 110,000 hats each year, 1,100,000 hats in thirty years. These figures tell the story of the average number of hats checked in the Union League Club (the millionaire club) each day, each year and for thirty years. When it is added that one man has handled this stupendous volume of brain protectors without dependence on checks; and has never been charged with making a mistake in returning the right hat to the right man—the figures become more significant. Charles H. Gibson, an Afro-American, is the man who has this wonderful faculty for knowing hats and heads. To many of the Union League members Charlie's right name is unknown. He has hung hats so long that the members who joined since the war have come to call him "Deacon," and by this sobriquet he is known alone. September 13, 1877, just thirty-three years ago, "Deacon" came from Queen Anne's County, Maryland, and went in the cloak room of the Union League as custodian of hats, umbrellas, topcoats and piershoes. He was proud of his job determined to make the best of it.
"I hadn't much more than got started," said the "Deacon," in telling his story, "when along came General Grant from his trip around the world. "That was a great night at the Union League, and you bet I was busy. But I sized up the General's hat—he wore a wide-brimmed silk one—and I didn't miscalculate a single one of the company that night. I felt so proud of myself after that that I just set out to make a system. I said to myself, "I'll put a big man's hat off to itself, and I'll grade 'em down accordingly." In those days we didn't have any cheeks, so when I learned my men, I put 'em along the room according to their bigness and I never made a mistake. One time a gentleman said to me, "Deacon, how do you know this is my hat?" All I could answer him was; "I don't know if it is your hat. All I know is you give it to me, sir." this is the Deacon's hat knowing philosophy. After thirty years of hat receiving, hat-returning and no mistakes, his only explanation to your correspondent was; "I sizes them up according to class, sir." In his day at the Union League the Deacon has out away the "liks" of the greatest men of the land, including every President since Grant, except Cleveland. "Tom Reed had the biggest head," he said. President Arthur wore the first big panama he had ever seen. United States Senator Beveridge is one of the "small-headed" men in the Deacon's category. "Unele Joe" Cannon, he remembers, as bringing a slouch hat, oasis in a desert of silk hats. "How about Roosevelt's bonnet?" he was asked. The old man smiled quizzically. "As the saying is," he replied, "he's a new beginner."
Angered because an Afro-American had moved into the neighborhood and had opened a store at 61st and Lombard street, a crowd of 5,000 persons gathered in front of his store, after he had opened for business, and demanded that he move, as they did not want any Afro-Americans in that vicinity. Frightened by the threats of the crowd, he took back the rent which he had paid the owner of the premises. Isaac Clackms, and, packing his stock in vans, for which a collection was taken for him to pay for them, he moved away, followed by the cheers of the crowd.
It was a great surprise to everybody to know that Thomas R. Harbridge had been appointed a regular detective at a salary of $1,700 a year by Director Clay. It is said this is a direct slap at Mayor Reyburn, who had promised the first vacancy to Acting Detective Williams, an Afro-American, of his own ward. Williams is one of the many intelligent Afro-Americans of the city, and a friend for years of the Mayor, and has helped him to fight several political battles. He has long been regarded as a kind of protege of the Mayor, and during the hot political fight of 1905 he was discharged from the police force for the active part he took in aiding the friends of the Mayor. When Mr. Reyburn was elected Mayor one of his first acts was to reinstate Williams and send him to City Hall as an acting detective. He assured Williams and his many friends that he would be appointed to the first vacancy in the detective force, and since then, the 15th warder has been carefully groomed for the position given Thursday to Harbridge without even so much as extending the usual courtesy to the Mayor of consulting his wish in the matter. Harbridge is a friend of Senator James P. McNichol.

FRATERNAL NEWS OF THE ELKS
Notes of Lodges and Members from
Many Sections of the Country.
That the literature of our fraternity has not kept pace with the numerical, material, earnestness and progressive advancement of the order, is a proposition the truth of which is generally conceded, especially when taking into consideration the deans of the English language and of grammatical fame. Of course, the production is not a bad showing. We are not ashamed of it, but rather proud, for we do not believe that any other Afro-American order has developed as many active coworkers in such a short time. And yet the risks of misunderstanding are, after all, not a criterion for silence; but on the contrary an illustration of the need for more explicit suggestions from many sides which—if sincerely made and if impartially executed—may yield us a simpler and a more fraternal duty. One may well contract adequately, however, with great reserve and without intentional dogmatism along these lines of activity. There are some of us who are so narrowminded and beguiled as to make little of the showing being made. It is an unfortunate fact, and we deeply regret to acknowledge the hypothetical methods involved by intelligent and responsible leaders.
Captain James A. Thomas, 220 Chelsea avenue, Long Branch, N. J., returned home August 30 after a most pleasant visit of several days attending the eighth annual convention of the parent order of the I. B. P. O. E. W. held at Reading, Pa. Captain Thomas is Exalted Ruler of Magnolia Lodge, No. 120, and also the dashing young captain of Seaside Company, No. 3. U. R. K. of P., who are preparing for the annual drill to be held in Ashbury Park, October 17th, at which time he expects to make a good showing. The membership of Magnolia Lodge consists of forty-three young and intelligent men. Four others are to be initiated at their next meeting.
We greatly appreciate the Elks news of Mr. George F. King in THE AGE of recent date, but we do feel that the first paragraph of his able article, relative to the split of the order last year, is rather untimely and at variance with the facts in the controversy. We greatly desire reconciliation at as early a date at practicable, and we will reciprocate any suggestions along those lines for publication with our fraternal news of the Elks.
The Grand Temple of Daughters of thel. B. P. O. Elks of the World, held its fifth annual sessions at Chicago, III. August 27, 28, 29, 30. This session was one of the most interesting and best ever recorded in the history of the organization. Harmony and love were the governing features of their meetings, and the good sisters pride themselves in terming it the "harmonious sessions."
Thursday morning the grand officers were elected as follows: Mrs. Mamie T. Hodges, Grand Daughter Ruler, Hampton, Va.; Miss (Dr.) M. L. McDonald Grand Vice Daughter Ruler, Washington, D.C.; Miss Florence Hoffer, Grand Assistant Daughter Ruler Washington, Pa.; Mrs. Hattie Anderson, Grand Chaplain, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, Grand Secretary, Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Frances Young, Grand Treasurer, Hampton, Va.; Mrs. N. E. Williams, Grand Escort, Norfolk, Va.; Mrs. Eliza E. Lasane, Grand Doorkeeper, Birmingham, Ala.; Mrs. Susie E. Swan, Grand Gatekeeper, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson and Miss S. E. Roberson, of Norfolk, Va., and Mrs. Mattie Combs, Cincinnati, Ohio, Grand Thustees.
Mrs. Kelley and Mrs. Hodgers feel assured that all who attended the Grand Temple have been greatly benefited. They enjoyed their stay in the Lake City very pleasantly, indeed, and sweet memories of their visit still linger. The sisters of Warden Temple, No. 16, did not leave one stone unturned towards making it congenial and pleasant for the visiting sisters, and the sisters of subordinate temples join Mrs. Kelley in highly complimenting them for their unbounded hospitality shown the Grand Temple of Daughters while in executive sessions at Chicago under the watchful care of Warden Temple.
A correction. Brother Deputy George Booker, Wheeling, W. Va., instituted the following lodges previous to the Grand Lodge Convention: Mountain State Lodge, No. 117, Clarksburg, W. Va., ally assisted by Brother Frank Cumberland and eight members of Pan Handle Lodge, No. 74; Pilgrim Lodge, No. 125, North Fork, W. Va. He also made forty new members and obligated seventeen members of the Keystone Lodge (a Howard lodge). On Sept. 5 he instituted and installed Eureka Lodge, No. 131, Huntington, W. Va. Its prospects are very bright, the membership consisting of intelligent and energetic young men.
West Virginia last year had only one lodge, with seventy members, and now they have four progressive lodges, with a membership of over 250 men. The opposition from other orders is considerable and the deputy finds it extremely difficult to arouse the people's interest, but he is working diligently to enlist their co-operation, and the class of men who have identified themselves with the lodges have created a very favorable and healthy opinion of the Elks all over the state, especially at Huntington. They selected thirty of the best citizens and instituted the lodge. They refused to accept any more at the time of institution, and now are about to apply for a dispensation to open a club for the purpose of securing a number of progressive business men who have expressed a desire to become affiliated with Eureka Lodge. The membership undoubtedly will be increased to one hundred of the best citizens. Brother I. L. Johnson, Exalted Ruler; Brother D. W. Perdue, secretary, and T. I. Taver; treasurer.
The membership of Westchester Lodge, No. 116, Tarrytown, N. Y., feel highly gratified over the results of their first annual reception on Labor Day, at Music Hall. It proved to be the crowning social event of the season. The Elks' grand march was a feature of the occasion. Excellent music was furnished by John W. Hoffmans' orchestra. Among the prominent out-of-town Antlers were Brothers Thomas B. James, Jr. of Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, and Charles H. Kingsland, of Pride of Newark Lodge, No. 93. The Elks of Westchester Lodge will partake of some "fruit antelopes" and carry the prospenter

pective Antlers through the wilderness of Elkdom at their next meeting. At the recent meeting of Elite Lodge, No. 119, Buffalo, N. Y., Brother James A.' Ross, re-elected Exalted Ruler, for one year, and all other officers re-elected for the same period. Elite Lodge is in excellent condition, and proposes to begin the fight for holding the tenth annual session of the I. B. P. O. E. W. in Buffalo. Elite Lodge voted to contribute $1 per member for the Elks' Home, payable on demand each quarter. Brother Ross was given a unanimous vote of appreciation for the magnificent and exhortative report of the proceedings of the Grand Lodge Sessions.
Brother George Marshall, a member of Brooklyn Lodge, No. 32, died August 24, at Willisville, Va. This information reached us only a few days ago, and necessary steps will be taken to forward Mrs. Henderson, his mother, her endowment after receiving all the facts in the case. Brother W. P. Moore, senior delegate of 32, rendered his report giving the proceedings of the convention at Chicago, the report consisting of 10,000 words. His actions sustained and approved by a unanimous vote, and a vote of appreciation. The report will be placed into the archives of the lodge for future reference. Brother E. Elmore Brock, junior delegate of 32, will render his report October 7. Monday evening, the 30th, Brooklyn Lodge will hold a social session for its membership, and the balance of the by-laws and constitution will be read for approval.

ST. PHILIP'S GUILD PICNIC
Lester A. Walton, as a Descriptive
Writer, Tells of the Function
You may talk about feasting your cyes on beauty and fashion at the opening performance of the Metropolitan Opera or dwell at length on some dissertation on "Pretty Sights \ I Have Seen," but when I think of the picture formed several evenings ago by the "coming together" of the Afro-Americans of Greater New, York at the Manhattan Casino. I am of the opinion that I am qualified and competent to enter wordy war, and contend that the gathering at the annual picnic of St. Philip's Guild presented a sight to be classed in the superlative degree when such adjectives as "pretty" and "picturesque" are brought to the fore.
All races have their defined instincts; their likes and dislikes. The Afro-American is well known for his love of music and the natural ease in which he can use his feet on the ballroom floor. Yet, it is very seldom that the public in general gets any information regarding a ball or picnic given by Afro-Americans, unless it happens to be an event conducted by the rougher element wherein a general "rough house" is always the inevitable, and the finale is a shooting or cutting affray in which one or more find their way to the hospital. The next day you can rest assured mention will be made in the daily papers of came, usually in bold type in a prominent column.
While watching the concourse of dancers the other evening, the thought suggested itself, why don't the daily papers send some of their writers to such events as St. Philip's Guild picnic? Why not produce a pen-picture in the miniature of how the scene appeared to the writer or artist and give a detailed account of what transpired and the conduct of those present? Why not give some little attention to the doings of the refined and cultured Afro-American and pay less attention to airing the acts of the other class? There are always two sides to every question, as there is to the race question; but it is very seldom that but one side of the race question is given publicity and that is the side which you find some morning when you pick up your paper and read in large headlines—"Negro Lynched!" "Negro Arrested for Theft!" "Tillman Says Negro Is Menace to Country." It is no wonder that you hear complaints nowadays even in New York about the Afro-American being snubbed on the street cars. Not being intimately associated with the race as a whole, but with only a few, many of the whites are forming opinions by such reading matter in the daily papers that we are not yet fit associates.
But to return to the St. Philip's Guid picnic. It would have been a source of wonder to a white writer, as he would have found in the neighborhood of two thousand persons, and Afro-Americans, too, assembled in one room where perfect decorum was kept for a number of hours while dancing was going on. Had a white writer attended the function he could have put the lie to the oft repeated assertion that Afro-Americans cannot congregate in large numbers and maintain order until the end. And remember the example given was not a private affair, but a public one, which goes to prove that the Afro-American discriminates—a fact which is hard to make many of our white brothers believe.
Although the white writer was absent, I will endeavor to assume the role of a descrivative, tell and tell some few things I saw. Of course it is natural for me to first refer to the female contingent, as the members of the gentler sex demanded most of my attention. There was present the Gibson girl and her rival, the Christy girl; even when dancing I noticed that many of them retained their bend and pose while, alas! I observed that no small number lapsed into an unconscious state while two-stopping or waltzing, in which they assumed shapes more on the hunchback order. But it is quite true they thought of their other pose when through keeping time to the music. And as I said before, beauty! St. Louis, Chicago, Washington and Louisville may boast of the pretty girls each city produces, but Greater New York could enter a beauty contest if the representatives were selected from those at the picnic and could rest-assured when the decision was given she would, to use the vernacular of the turf, be inside the money.
Then I must tell about the stylish dresses worn by the women folks. The princess gown and the Prince Chap suits were in evidence. I also saw evening coats of chiffon. What kind of material were in the dresses? Why from silk of the peau de soie, crepe de chine, and embroidered voiles variety to cheviots and flannellets. As to colors I will only add that they rivaled the rainbow.
It is never asked what the men wore, so it suffices to say that as the affair was a public picnic, they dressed ac-

cordingly, with the exception of one mild-mannered young man, who sported white gloves that should have been worn at an evening affair. He, however, was very retiring otherwise and his white gloves were overlooked.
Continuous vaudeville is not in it with a continuous dancing fest—simplified means a dance—which commences shortly after 8 o'clock in the evening and does not close until 2 o'clock in the morning, made possible by the presence of two hands, located in different parts of the room. When one finishes the other at once starts playing.
Much more could be said of the picnic, but descriptive writing, no matter how pleasant, grows monotonous.
